    Thanks guys, I'm gobsmacked myself, it's bad even for him! I can't ruin his essay because he sits next to me agonising over every word and I type as he dictates it to me.

    Pepe, I hate people who key cars, I'd had my motability car less than 4 weeks when I got up to find a big one all the way down 3 panels, with a bit of deep 'scribbling' to take it beyond being sorted by T cut. I need to get an insurance claim in now though for that and some other damage (done at the same time of course...) because I'm handing it back in August.

    Drives me mad too, Mrs Ps car is a PT Cruiser ( bought brand new ) that was done a couple of years back.
    The worse was Vera ( my Camper ), she had just been sprayed with 14 coats of paint/lacquer etc and some jerk scratched from from to back! Luckily the friend of mine who had done the original job for £2500, for the whole van, got the Insurance repair at £2800 for just the one side which helped his money situation so all was good.
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    Sally, he does come here but I don't need to worry about letting him in, he'd never get here under his own steam I've always got to go pick him up. Which makes it easier to stand up to him about it.

    Well, it seems it's easy to decide to do housework instead of his essay, not so easy to choose housework over chasing a new high score on stupid facebook game...
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Gemmzie, can't you tell her you need to do some work so can she bu**er off?

    She has no money for the bus and I can't drive so she's stuck here. She's a bit of a leech - she's meant to be a student but hasn't left our house all week in the day. My brother's practically moved her in, it's really irritating.

    Why dont you just ask her if could watch tv for a while as you have some bits to do on the internet and whatever she is doing is using up a lot of the bandwith?

    Gemmzie - KILL! lol.....I'm a student, and I pay for my usage of the internet. Perhaps say if she's going to be using it so much whether she'd like to contribute towards it.

    Oh, and I have the weirdest task to do.....Is it possible to express yourself?

    We aren't actually paying for it for six months. I just don't understand why she's living here for free using our internet. Lazy mare.
